I parked it for a week and then tried to start it with no luck. It has 190,000 miles. The starter is working, all 4 plugs are getting spark and I can smell fuel when I try to start it. Does the smell of fuel indicate that it is in fact getting fuel? If it is getting fuel and spark why would it not start? thx Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 2, 2007, 3:49 PM Post #2 of 5 (2005 views) Re: 1993 civic will not start Sign In You would think smelling fuel would get you some reaction but it might not be enough at the right time. A fuel pressure check would help to diagnose this. Try some starter fluid and see it it kicks if only for a couple seconds. The other question always is a timing belt. If it jumped a few notches it might only back fire or nothing. Broken it would sound funny just cranking it. How many miles has that one been in it?? Hope it's not an interference engine if the timing belt is at fault!

It has less than 10,000 miles on it. Thanks Tom! Guest Anonymous Poster Jun 2, 2007, 4:48 PM Post #4 of 5 (2002 views) Re: 1993 civic will not start Sign In I tried starter fluid. It sputtered and almost started, but did not start. So, I assume then that it is not getting fuel? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 2, 2007, 5:29 PM Post #5 of 5 (1999 views) Re: 1993 civic will not start Sign In Starter fluid doing something is a good clue that this is a fuel problem. Be careful not to try too hard to start the car as you may complicate things by flooding it and can damage the starter motor if you don't let it cool down between tries. Try to get a fuel pressure reading. I don't know that exact best pressure for that car but it should be steady at perhaps 25-40 psi and you can check that with key in just run position, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
